Analytical Report by AFP on Iran's 'Dual Strategy' Towards Israel

The French news agency AFP, in an analytical article citing several experts, examined the 'dual strategy' of the Iranian government towards Israel. The article refers to the missile attack on October 1 by the Islamic Republic and the subsequent repeated threats from senior Israeli officials regarding a definitive attack against the Iranian government, analyzing the behavior of the Islamic Republic. According to the article, the Islamic Republic has adopted a 'dual strategy' in response to the threats from senior Israeli officials, consisting of threats to carry out further attacks against Israel while also consulting with regional countries to reduce tensions. In other words, alongside the threats from senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, has traveled to the capitals of nine regional countries, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, over the past two weeks to meet and discuss with their senior officials. Over the past four and a half decades of dominance over Iranian territory, the Islamic Republic has always sought the destruction of Israel and has established a network of affiliated militia groups to fight against Israel and other countries in the region. Hezbollah in Lebanon, as the main proxy arm of the Islamic Republic in the region, and Hamas, as the most significant Palestinian militant group, have received extensive financial and military support from the Iranian government in recent decades. Following the October 7 terrorist attack, in which 1,200 people, including women, children, and the elderly, were massacred and over 250 others were taken hostage, Israel launched its offensive against Gaza aimed at destroying Hamas and recovering the hostages. Over the past year, thousands of Hamas members, including its senior commanders such as Ismail Haniyeh, Saleh al-Arouri, and Yahya Sinwar, have been killed. Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Japan, and several other countries worldwide. The day after the October 7 terrorist attack, Hezbollah in Lebanon, as the main proxy arm of the Islamic Republic, also unilaterally began its rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel. In response, Israel has carried out severe attacks against this group's positions in Lebanon and Syria, killing hundreds of members of this Iranian-backed group, including the leader and senior military commanders such as Hassan Nasrallah and Fawad Shukr. Several countries, including the United States, Israel, Germany, Serbia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Australia, have recognized Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. The identification of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization implies no distinction between its political and military branches, labeling both as terrorist entities.
